Marek: “One or the opposite gamers that have been questioning about right here currently and we’re all attempting to, okay determine the place the best match is, is Patrick Laine of the Columbus Blue Jackets, or ought to we are saying quickly to be ex of the Columbus Blue Jackets. Do you’ve gotten a spidey sense currently on what groups may be warmed to him?”
Friedman: “I’ve just a few individuals who stated to me it’s a must to watch Seattle on this one. And that doesn’t come as a shock as a result of the Kraken had been in search of scores, proper? Yeah, like that. That could be a crew and each time we discuss somebody in search of a scorer, I imply, all people is however we talked about Seattle specifically.”

Marek: “And so they had a 20-goal scorer in Daniel’s Sprong however they let him go. However I digress.”
Friedman: “You simply by no means gonna let that go.
Marek: “No, no, no. To the grave.
Friedman: “The opposite factor too is like Seattle can do it. Like they’re a crew that may that may do that deal. And in addition to you already know, like that, just like the, like Ron Francis isn’t loopy about wild contracts. Two instances $8.7 (million), and, and we’ll see what Columbus might need to do to make this work. That’s not insane for the Kraken. And it’s not insane for Ron Francis.
And I, I feel the opposite factor right here too, is that as we talked about with the teaching change there from Hakstol to Bylsma, I feel there’s a actual push in that group to be extra aggressive. And I see Laine as one thing that is smart there for the individuals who need to be extra aggressive, and the individuals who desire to be somewhat bit conservative, as a result of I don’t assume his contract breaks you or is overly dangerous.

In order that, Seattle is without doubt one of the groups I’m actually questioning about there for Laine.
